A timeless masterpiece, this 1935 English Cottage, designed by the renowned Gamble Rogers, stands as a testament to classic elegance and enduring craftsmanship. Nestled on nearly half an acre in one of Winter Park's most coveted neighborhoods, this home has been thoughtfully updated with modern luxuries while preserving its original charm.
Inside, warm Heart of Pine floors, beadboard vaulted ceilings, restored period hardware, and custom built-ins create an inviting ambiance. Spacious formal and casual living areas include a dining room, separate living and family rooms, an office, and a versatile flex space. The expanded and renovated kitchen is a chef's dream, now featuring marble countertops, custom white cabinetry, a Wolf gas range, stainless steel appliances, a built-in Miele espresso machine, and a farmhouse sink. The thoughtful redesign includes a custom range hood, a new ventilation system, and an integrated refrigerator/freezer drawer in the island.
The first-floor primary suite is a private retreat with serene backyard views, two walk-in closets, and a bathroom with dual vanities, a clawfoot tub, and a separate shower. Upstairs, two bedrooms share a charming bathroom.
Outside, a lushly landscaped backyard offers an idyllic escape with a newly installed pool heater (2023), a restored koi pond, and extensive hardscape additions. A covered porch and a newly added summer kitchen with plumbing make this home an entertainer's paradise. The fully fenced property is surrounded by mature landscaping, refreshed with new perennials and heirloom camellias.
Additional recent upgrades include a new roof (2021), restored siding, new gutters with leaf guards, and a new irrigation system. A detached guest house with a sitting area and loft provides the perfect private space for visitors.
Located just minutes from Park Avenue, downtown Orlando, and zoned for the sought-after Audubon Park K-8 and Winter Park High School, this home embodies the perfect blend of historic elegance and modern convenience.
